Overview

This is an executive program created jointly by Harvard’s Kennedy School and the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

Details

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is expanding into nearly every sector of society—from healthcare and finance to transportation and government services. Yet, most decision makers do not fully understand how these technologies work, nor fully grasp their unintended consequences. Public trust in AI and ML requires that leaders understand and address questions around fairness, privacy, and bias.

Leaders like you are asking for tools and resources to better navigate this uncharted territory. Leading in Artificial Intelligence: Exploring Technology and Policy is an executive program that provides you with this opportunity. It lies at the critical intersection of policy and technology. Innovative yet practical, this program will strengthen your capacity to lead in AI, including how to mitigate risk without inhibiting innovation.

Together with your peers and renowned Harvard faculty, you will be immersed in a live learning experience with peer learning opportunities and activities you will do on your own. 

Curriculum

This pioneering program will enhance your knowledge of what AI is and isn’t, help you determine appropriate technologies for your organization, and sharpen your critical thinking around issues such as privacy, security, and fairness.

Through an interactive curriculum, you will:

  • Learn to distinguish between AI and ML and understand their applications and use
  • Explore ways to bridge the gap between the technology and policy sectors and forge meaningful collaborations
  • Examine AI and ML governance frameworks with a focus on what is working and what is not
  • Gain valuable new insights into how AI can be used for public good.
